Uruguay
About Uruguay
This Uruguay guide uses six dated authority records checked on September 8, 2026. They cover a parrilla, the Historic Quarter of Colonia del Sacramento, Candombe, mate, the peso uruguayo, and Tango. Each lesson keeps its source with a narrow claim. It does not turn a heritage record, tourism page, or banknote page into a current plan or a claim about every person.
